AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
End of a soft snap.

CHICAGO, Dec 28.-To-day the contract
between Commissioner E. p. VinIng and
the once famous trIpartte association,
or pool, was cancelled under somewhat
singular circumstances The Office of the COM
missioner which was all that remained of the
pool was abandoned. When the pool was orig
inally formed Vining was chosen commissioner,
with $I2 900 annual salary and a fve-year con-
tract The pool included the Rock Island, the
St Paul, tie Wabash, the Northwestern and
the Union Pacific. Il hourished eighteen
mont tbs but then made useless by the
slauehts of che Burlington. The eighty
more clerks employed by the bureau were dis
charged, but the roads were individually respou-
s:ble for the commissioners salary. and he con-
tinued to draw his 81, 900 a month. To-day,
however, he agreed to take Sc, 900 in lieu of the
remaining year OF the contract. For eighteen
months active duties aud two and half years
sitting around Mr.. VIning has been paid $52, 000

10 the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
Since DR.. Fletcher has been removed from the
Insane Hospital, and it is believed by those in
charge that the seal of silence has been imposed
upon its miserable management, it seems to be
considered necessary that an effort shall be made
TO beguile the public into the belief that some
reform is being inaugurated by those in author
ity
1 find in your columns a statement of IAN in
novation" introduced at the Hospital, with
pleasing results. in the shape of Christmas
celebration. Superintendent Galbraith is repre-
sented as saying, I'VE have found the innova-
ton a remarkable success. We doubted whether
not any kind of entertainment could be pre-
pared that would interest the diseased minds of
the patients. but the slight effort made
has resulted in directing their minds from the
insane course for one day at least"
Now, If DR.. Galbralth said this to your re-
porter, he must have known perfectly well that
this innovation" which he did
make. For years past, as Is known by every
been regularly celebrated at the hospital; Christ
mas trees placed in each ward presents dis
tributed, and the patients diverted in the man
ner which DR.. Galbraitn seems to claim ex-
elusive credit a new thing. It is impossible
that he actually doubted whether not any
kind of en- Entertainment could be prepared that
would interest the diseased minds of tho
TENTS" If he had taken the slightest trouble to
inquire into the effect of the previous Christmas
celebration.
Such statement if made i1 good faith, would
only be proof of his own ignorance of the asylum
of which he is superintendent.
Special circulars (which were copied this year
by DR.. Galbraithl were sent out by DR.. Fletcher
to friends of the inmates and to others, for con-
tribuuons. and considerable sums were received
and spent IN this manner for presents and deco
rations
The idea Of DR.. Galbraith claiming credit for
this a reform or innovation is something gro
tesque. and he may rest assured that self-spoken
encomiums of this description will not be suffi-
cient to divert the minds of the people from the
innumerable atrocities, such the scading of
McConahy, perpetrated by incompetent at
tendants fosted upon this institution by board
of trustees who are, at all times. ready to sacri
fee the welfare of the patient for some supposed
personal political advantage.
1t seems evident enough that the only claims
for reform" that can be made a such insti-
tuition are those based upon statements which
are not founded upon fact. W. D. FoULKE.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.

How They Have Been Attended and the
WORK They Have Accomplished in
Springfield This spring.
The industrial schools held at the court
house and Temperance hall closed term
of twelve weeks, Saturday, June lfth.
The schools have labored under many
disadvantages, but withal have made quite
creditable showing for the length of time
in session. A definite report cannot be
given of the number in attendance at the
court house, IS the superintendent had no
secretary and was too much hurried to keep
roll, but there were never less than
fifty and sometimes one hundred
in attendance and never more
than half enough teachers. hence many
were turned away. The good which might
be accomplished in such schools as these
can not be properly understc I'd or there
would be no need of these children being
deprived Of the teaching and help they
themselves seem so earnestly to desire.
The school held in Temperance hall has
been better supplied with teachers, but
could have found employment for many
more. The girls, from 9 to l6 years of age
being bright, teachable and obedient. and
the teachers regular. faithful and earnest
One young teacher only Is years
o. age needs special mention.
s e was absent but once during the twelve
Saturdays, and her class did excellent work,
not missing one single afternoon. What
may her crOwning be If she is always so
faithful. The average number of pupils In
attendance was sixty-three, and each child
took home one garment, besides having
made, altogether, one hundred and fifty
quilt blocks and completed ene quilt, which
the teachers and pupils will quilt at no
distant day, hoping to bestow it upon some
worthy object.
Thirteen girls over fifteen years OF age
want places to work during the summer.
